Alert!Rudolf Meinl, Jr. e-mailed me this morning, letting me know that he has a new rose brass 5/4 5-rotor CC, lacquered, with the 2nd slide trigger, all the good stuff, which he will offer me at a discount for a limited time. These tubas made of expensive rose brass normally cost 30% more than the yellow brass model. If you are seriously interested in acquiring one of these, please contact me soon at (563) 321-0642 or tubamacher@gmail.com.
